Paradox alarm system and Home Assistant with esp8266/ESP32 (without IP150)
If you want to integrate Paradox (most panels) alarm system to Home Assistant – you will need to pull/read data from the panel and feed it to MQTT (preferred) server. There are several options: IP150 module, serial (UART) or Serial-to-WIFI device, which I’m using now. The latter is cheap, small, easy to set up and…

Post technical inspection – Yamaha Stryker (thoughts, fixes, second try)
—
in MotoSo, after they have failed my bike as “not road worthy” I need to change some things. Let‘s see how can I workaround these issues and how long these (temporary?) mods will last 😊 First – relocate number plate to the back, on a rear fender. Then – Cobra exhaust… 129dB should be lowered to at…

10kW solar plant proposals from first Google search page
—
in SolarI’ve got all the offers! Mostly… And 90% of them were not personalized 🙁 Just a standard templated pdf with cheap/medium/premium options to choose from (even though I have asked for specific type of panels or inverter).

First steps and expenses, 10kW solar power plant requirements
—
in SolarSince recently „the road to solar“ has changed. You could apply for a subsidy, get accepted and only then deal with technical side of things (electrical infrastructure, connection bandwidth to the grid etc. etc.), which was ok if you want to be 100% sure you’ll get the money from the government 🙂 But trends, greed…

I’m investing in solar energy. Let’s see how it unfolds 🙂

in SolarHi, last week our government announced the next round of subsidies for solar plants. You can get up to 3230,10 EUR compensated for 10kW. The less kW you decide to put on your roof – the less money you’ll get back, pretty simple 🙂 If you go with the maximum – it’s about 30% discount…
